On the Range #31 - LASTE Wind Profile Entry in the DCS: A-10C Warthog

Great videos man. Keep up the good work. I like the variety. What are your PC specs? You appear to have very high settings enabled and it looks real smooth.

Love your work. I've learned so much from your vids. Thanks a million !!

Thanks for all the work you put into this video, plus all the extra stuff you created and linked to. This simulator is so much more enjoyable when you're aware of its capabilities!

You have a great narration style and I'm impressed; I tried talking while flying and couldn't do either one!

Have come to really appreciate you videos, you have a very easy voice to listen to, and the attention to detail is fantastic. Keep it up.

These are some nice in depth tutorials to refresh my memory as I look to get back into DCS. Cheers!

Excellent vids mate, keep it up :) 

This is gonna be great for CBUs!

Great vid thanks a mil,

Bunyap, does the Laste profile aide in dropping CBU's, combining the data for parachute drift, etc?

Does the LASTE system compensate using CCIP mode? (Hope I didn't just miss you mentioning it in the video...)

A very good video.

But I would like to know where the value of -7° for the magnetic variation comes from. I know that it's written in the forum, but it quite inaccurate.
The true value for the Georgian area is -6°. This can be confirmed by looking it up in the data of the airbases. For EVERY airbase in this reagion the kneeboards in DCS, as well as real sources, give you a value of 6°E, so -6° would be the right value here.

I know the difference is only 1°, but your spreadsheet shows that you were using much more acurate values for all the other variables too, like 1.94 instead of 2 for the conversion from m/s to kts and 3.28 instead of 3 for the conversion from m to ft.

Is this relevant to the Nevada test range and the Red Flag campain? Did you use this when you flew your Red Flag missions? If so, what magnetic variance did you use to correct the true bearing? There were posts saying the Laste wind computations had a bug?

does the temperature really matter doe?

Thank you for a very understandable explanation! I started to loathe the unguided bombs because even although I was nearly perfectly aligned, no matter the altitude, I usually missed by quite a large margin. It never occured to me that I should input some wind data first, since I don't even remember it from the manual or the tutorials... Now I can finally give them a second try

Even after doing all those corrections, my Mk-82s still drop completely off the target. I double checked it's enabled for wind + temp but it acts as if it wasn't. The error is horrible from even well under 10k ft, and doing some corrections by putting my SPI slightly off the target, on the opposite direction of where the bomb fell, seems to have no effect at all as it still hits randomly within a huge circle around the target...

Brilliant video, has taught me a lot, thankyou.

You are the bomb sir!! Thank you for sharing your videos! Any chance you can share your TrackIR profile? And how did you create the keyboard spreadsheet?

Nice, very good information. I do have 1 question is why the conversion spreadsheet when going up to 1000 and 2000 feet the speed is doubled?

Excellent presentation!
Q: What kind of scenario is only (wind) for ?
Q: What kind of scenario is only (Temp) for ?

I know! Google it! (Im lacy) :)

ThX again. Awesome.

I really appreciate your videos! This is with the excel is excellent :D

Thanks! Very informative.
